Biological background
TFAM (protein: Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (gsk3b)) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Mediates B-cell proliferation in the absence of co- stimulus as well as IgE production in the presence of IL-4. Involved in immunoglobulin class switching. . Reported cellular localization context: Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Specifically expressed on activated CD4+ T- lymphocytes.
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Chromatin Binding Proteins,DNA/RNA Binding,Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling,Metabolic Signaling Pathways,Metabolism,Mitochondria,Mitochondrial Markers,Mitochondrial Metabolism,Nucleotide Metabolism,Organelles,Pathways and Processes,Subcellular Markers,Tags & Cell Markers,Transcription,Transcription Factors.
- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): evaluate spatial distribution of target-positive staining in tissue architecture.
- Immunofluorescence/ICC (IF/ICC): visualize subcellular localization patterns and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP): enrich target complexes for downstream immunoblot or interaction analyses.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate TFAM antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect TFAM expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Detect TFAM in FFPE tissue sections by immunohistochemistry, Localize TFAM by immunofluorescence/immunocytochemistry in cultured cells, Enrich TFAM by immunoprecipitation from lysates for downstream analysis
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 80 kDa; calculated MW: 29274 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
Additional product details (from the source record)
- Molecular weight (observed): 80 kDa
- Cellular localization (provided): Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.
- Tissue details (provided): Specifically expressed on activated CD4+ T- lymphocytes.
